using ldconfig on build host to generate ld.so.cache for target

[Travis Newhouse]

Hi,

If this is not the appropriate forum for this question, then please let me know.

I've used crosstool to build a toolchain for gcc 3.4.1 and glibc
2.3.3.  I'm using the toolchain to  compile several packages (busybox,
tinylogin, ...) and create an embedded Linux root filesystem image.  I
build the image with genext2fs, and mostly everything works (i.e. I
can boot and busybox utilities operate correctly).

I have a question about how one can generate a /etc/ld.so.cache file
on the build host that the target can use to search the proper paths
for shared libraries.  I installed an ld.so.conf file in /tmp/staging
(where /tmp/staging contains the root filesystem I am building and
tried running "/sbin/ldconfig -v -r /tmp/staging" , but it complains
that it can't locate directories:
    /sbin/ldconfig: Can't stat /usr/local/openssl-0.9.7g: No such file
or directory
I also tried using the ldconfig executabled in
/...toolchain.../sys-root/sbin, but that failed with the same error.

Thanks for any help,
Travis
